Students planning to take any of the above tests should keep in mind that most tests are given only a few times a year on specific dates. The date selected should provide time for the scores to be received by the institution by the announced deadline. Ordinarily it takes four to six weeks after the test for the results to be available. Most tests require registration about one month in advance of the actual test date.
